Chelsea might not be the only team to be sanctioned by the UK government as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Manchester City are now in the spotlight due to a meeting between their owner Sheikh Mansour and Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.
According to the BBC, the UK government has been extremely critical of City owner Mansour for recently meeting with Putin-ally Assad.
"It is the UK's firm belief that - in the absence of a change in behaviour by the Syrian regime - strengthening ties undermines the prospect of a lasting and inclusive peace in Syria," the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) told the Athletic.
At a time when political tensions are having consequences in the Premier League, City could follow in Chelsea's footsteps.
The government recently froze the assets of Blues owner Roman Abramovich and have prevented the sale of the club and any transfers.

These politician in Britain are going mad day by day.When does one relationship with any country or president become a sin? If sinners are to be stone to death,no American or British politician death or alive won't be stoned to death for committing crime against humanity. The British has conquered Nations thru colonization, kills millions,stole their wealth,forced them to change their culture n languages,in fact Britain is a safe heaven for looters. While the Americans has bombed Cuba,Vietnam,Irag ,Syria ,Libya etc etc with their baby cap in hand Britain, who has question or sanctioned them? I think,the best to go is by joining Putin to fight this evil axis called America and Britain, that's the only way they will understand this language called RESPECT to all Nations and individuals. Useless n inept Politician.
